Next 3D Truck Project? How About a New 2015 Silverado Duramax

I have recently stated that I am getting the itch to start designing some more 3D models.  And just to prove that I indeed have something cooking, I thought I would share what's currently brewing.  These are actual renderings from Shapeways, so other than a few minor details (mirrors, door handles, etc.), and some tires, I am very close to having a 2015 Silverado Duramax ready to print.  The front cab posts are a bit chunky, but hey, this is N Scale.  I decided to go with an open cab rather than fill in the windows.  I personally don't like having to paint windows and make them look realistic.  That said, I am also too lazy to design an interior, so like it or not, this is where I will stop.  I've got too many other design ideas to spend too much time of any one model.

Anyway, here is proof that I am finally getting back into my design routine.  And why a Silverado?  Why not?  Where else can you get a sweet looking crewcab like this in N scale?

N Scale Addict Truck Designs - Your Photos Shared

I sincerely appreciate the number of fellow N scale enthusiasts that have purchased my 3D designs either directly from Shapeways, or from my Ebay page.  I imagine the number of items is in the several hundreds by now.  I wanted to share some photos that I received from a couple individuals, as this gives me almost as much satisfaction as completing a model myself.

Keep sharing your photos and I'll keep posting them here.  Thank you to those of you that took advantage of the black Friday and cyber Monday incentives from Shapeways recently.  I know how pricey these things are, but having a model that never existed is sometimes worth a premium.

Shapeways Discount and Free Shipping Offer - Act Fast

I saw an offer by Shapeways that caught my eye and thought I would make note of it here.  They are offering free Shipping on all orders, and $10 credit.  But it is only good until later tonight.

I know personally, I like to order a few items at a time to spread the cost of shipping on these already pricey designs.  This way, you can order a single item and not feel the burden of the extra shipping charge.

By the way, I am starting to get the itch to start designing again after months of very little N scale activity.  My blog has certainly been idle for much of 2014.  Look for more in 2015 from me.

Shapeways Model Train Page - Guess Who is Featured?

Happy October Everyone.  I see that my last posting was back in July!  And if you tried to email me, that has been neglected too.  My apologies.

I don't know whether I was getting burned out with N scale, bored with my 3d models, or just needing something else to focus on, but I am beginning to miss my projects, and hope to jump back in soon.  I have had lots of other things to focus on however, so it's not like I've been sitting on the couch with a bag of chips.

I received a note the other day from Shapeways stating that my livestock trailer was featured front and center on the model train page.  Wow, how is that for being rewarded for 3d model boredom, disengagement, and not doing anything for several months.  Seriously, maybe this is what I need to get both feet back into the designing chair.

I have sold several models in the past months, and would really like to see some finished models from my blog followers.  So if you have something to share, please send it to me and I'll start posting.  Until I have some new items to share, I would greatly appreciate some content.
